SNARRY GAMES
http://asylums.insanejournal.com/snarry
Oh, come on! I know you feel overwhelmed by all the fic that's appearing. Long stories, some with superb, brilliant, wonderful dragons in them and some with not-even-barbecued phoenixes even.
The early stories got tons of feedback, but the more recent ones have barely been holding their head above water.
Yes, I know. Long stories, twice a day. And you have Real Life to contend with as well. And you were reading all those H/D that were popping up at the same time.
May I offer a potential solution?
Start reading today's posts. Go back later to the previous ones (if you want). Come on, you know you didn't read every Smutmas or H/D that was posted and you didn't feel guilty about that. Don't feel guilty about this solution.
OR
Just pick one team (preferably, for example, not that I'm biased or anything, TEAM DRAGON) and just read those and then go back and read the stories posted by That Other Team.
OR
Go to the Half-Way Mark post and read the stories written by your favourite writers, or the ones with the summaries that tickle you for some reason.

OR
Read every story posted on even-numbered days only. Or odd-numbered days.
OR
. . .
Look, frankly, I don't care what you do, but please, go read some of the stories that are up there. They cost only a bit of your time. No Canadian versus American versus European pricing. No PayPal converting to your home money standard. No VAT/GST/State Tax.
You can find stories about Harry and Severus getting together, romances, break-ups, mentoring, proxying; based on RL, based on fairy tales, based on history (well researched!); bittersweet stories, funny stories, sad stories, stories that will make you cry, stories that will make you sigh, stories that will make you horny.
And please, if you don't like a story, stop reading and try another.
If you like a story, leave feedback. That's your only cost. (Well, until a certain date, you can also vote. *I* can't, but you can.)
And it doesn't have to be much. Just: I liked this. OR Good story. OR even just a :-)
You can do that.
(I know that you can.)
